Hey, im sorry but its simply another case of something being taken out of context, in my opinion. He was asked for his own, personal opinion about the candidates race and their positions on iraq. It is his view that pulling out would be disastrous. Its a view shared by many!
As for the 'how dare australia comment on other countries..' crap, well i think we've contributed more per capita than most other nations in the world to peacekeeping, we're doing our darndest to stabilise a notoriously unstable region in SE Asia and Oceania.... i think we've earned a right to have a say.
As for Obama, i wonder if he's ever heard of something called proportions? in NYC you yanks have got more people than our entire country. Asking us to send 20,000 troops is asking us to send half our armed forces. why the hell not ask england or poland or someone to send half their entire armed forces? if theres a winner for the stupid comment award, obama wins
